Zinco Green Roof Energy Saving?

[Lucas A. Werft]

Dear Coleagues,

 

I have a somewhat complicated question and would ask for assistance if anone could help me.

 

As I work with Zinco Green Roof Systems I always wondered how much energy can be saved per m2 on extensive, intensive roofs and extensive and intensive systems using Floratherm additional thermo isolation.

 

I would generaly need the Summer period energy savings data, as I suppose it would be difficult to get any for winter.

 

I would be very greatful on any info.

 

Thanks and greetings from Croatia,

This doesn’t relate directly to the Zinco system you’re talking about, but some of the best research on the energy/heat conservation aspect of green roofs has come out of the Canadian National Research Council.
These two articles in particular might be helpful:
